Hello folks, recently found an 84 Manta that I am considering purchasing for a resto project. Assumed owner has no paperwork, so I’m trying to locate a VIN plate on it. Any assistance or tips would be appreciated.
Back again, we removed the upper body and had a good look in and around the chassis behind the engine, only thing I could find was a 4 digit number stamped in the lip of the aluminium at rear where the body would sit. No sign of a rivited plate or evidence of there being one. Am I correct in assuming that it would have a tag of some type? Thanks in advance.
Thanks only twins, that’s one mystery solved. This unit appears to have a 432cc fuji fan cooled. Seems to have a good quantity of Polaris items, gauges, skis and etc. Would these have originally been registered as Manufacturer = ARBE, Model = Manta or just Manta or possibly by engine code? Any tips for consideration when doing the paperwork to keep all as original as possible.
